THE MAGIC OF COLLABORATION IN TAMPA
Collaborative practice is a legal process enabling divorcing couples to work with their own lawyers and other family professionals to achieve a settlement that best meets the specific needs of both spouses and their children without the underlying threat of litigation. The parties pledge to be transparent, meaning that they will be open and honest regarding all issues in their divorce, like their finances and matters that affect custody. A mental health professional guides the team towards resolution, recognizing emotional and psychological pitfalls that could derail the negotiations. A financial professional helps the parties to compile discover, understand financial issues, and prepare schedules for equitable distribution, alimony, and child support. The goal of collaborative practitioners is to aid spouses in the restructuring of their family in a way that meets the parties’ and children’s best interests.
